I bought vanilla, TBC, and Wrath for my nephew for his birthday. He's a big console gamer and recently began playing computer games as well. So obviously I want to do the recruit-a-friend so I can level a toon with him and get a mount (plus a month free as I paid for him for 2 months).

I've been trying to set this up all day but the recruit-a-friend link continues to say it is down for maintenance even though it lets me select it in account management. Being that it's Friday night on a holiday weekend we were both really hoping to play for awhile tonight. Does anyone know if this happens frequently, if this has been down for awhile, or if they have removed this perk?

Thanks!
